Representing Victims of Fraud and Other Crimes
Criminal complaints and representation for companies and individuals seeking to recover losses caused by crime.
Representing Victims of Fraud and Other Crimes
Typical situations
- A company or individual has suffered contract fraud, loan fraud, embezzlement or similar harm and wants the wrongdoer held criminally liable.
- A report has been made to the police, but progress is unclear, or the victim wants to be heard at the prosecution or trial stage.
- The victim wants to recover losses through the criminal case and needs to know whether civil proceedings are also necessary.
What the work involves
Organizing the contracts, payment records and communications; assessing whether the conduct amounts to a crime; preparing the complaint and asset leads; representing the victim at the prosecution review and trial stages on the facts, characterization, losses and restitution; and coordinating the criminal case with civil litigation and enforcement.
Selected matters: in a contract fraud case, Mr. Yin represented the victim company at prosecution review and trial, and the defendant was convicted of contract fraud. In a loan fraud case, he filed the complaint for the victim company; the suspect was placed in criminal detention and the company recovered the funds.
